With wet, cold weather to come this Winter and more strikes planned, it’s time to prepare for disruption.

Here in the UK, we’re not blessed with amazing weather all year round, nor are we blessed with reliable train services.

Imagine waiting for your train, ready to start a busy day jam-packed with emails and calls. Then, the announcement is made. Your train is cancelled. You can’t get to the office – the only place you can access your desktop – and the stress begins to pile up. What do you do? Do you just go home? Do you wait hours until the trains start running again?

Train strikes and weather disruptions are a nightmare for those who can only access everything they need from the office.

With plummeting temperatures and predictions of snow and wet weather this Winter, we all know what this leads to – more travel disruptions. The two go hand in hand. The weather can make the everyday commuter’s life a little bit harder. So, what happens when the weather takes a turn for the worst and you can’t get to your office, or you office is damaged?

There’s a very simple yet effective way around these obstacles, to make sure your ability to help your customers is not affected by things out of your control. The solution is the Cloud.

More and more businesses are opting for the Cloud and there are many reasons why.

Work from anywhere

First of all, imagine this scenario – the weather gets worse, the trains are cancelled, there are more strikes and you can’t get to work. However, you no longer need to stress or worry. You can access your desktop from anywhere! Go to your nearest coffee shop or just head back home to work.

The Cloud means your employees can work from anywhere (and from any device), providing a flexible solution and saving the time of a long, delayed commute. Gone are the days of waiting around for hours for trains filled to the brim with frustrated commuters. So, using the Cloud means you can increase your employee’s productivity and become time-efficient.

Security

Nothing is 100% secure and this is something which is often a worry for many people. But with Systems IT’s help, you can find out how to make sure your Cloud is as secure as possible.

Therefore, you will no longer have to worry about a network breach, back-ups, storage or recovery. The Cloud is a great way to lose of all of these potential issues.

Collaborate

Finally, the Cloud provides an opportunity for your employees to collaborate with their colleagues around the world. So no matter where you are, you can work on the same projects as multiple other employees. Updates are also made in real-time so you stay up to date.

Next time there’s a train strike, you need not worry. You’ll be able to access everything you need from the Cloud.

So never let the weather, trains or any other obstacles get in the way of your business being able to deliver to your customers.
